RUBY EVELYN GOTTFRIED After a short but hard fought battle with cancer, Mom passed away on Sunday, September 25, 2016, at the age of 82 years. Mom was predeceased by her husband and our father, Frank, in 2014.

Mom enjoyed trying out new recipes, playing cards and beating people at Scrabble. She enjoyed all sorts of crafts. She also enjoyed the many committees she was involved with. To Mom, family was everything. She was the heart, soul, rock and glue.
